Christmas in July 2022 {BYSHC} Linky Party ~ October 2019 KOM Keeping Spirits Bright ~ Unity Stamp Co.

Hello there crafty friend!

I'm back with another card for the Christmas in July 2022 {BYSHC} Linky Party and this time I'm featuring a card using a gorgeous stamp from the Keeping Spirits Bright {October 2019 KOM} from Unity Stamp Co. Now, I have to confess... I found this beautiful image already colored in my stash. Score! It made for a quick card for today! 

I die cut the colored focal piece with the Pleated Lace Rectangles die from returning Sponsor Gina Marie Designs. Since my image was already colored I had to go looking through my Christmas papers to find one that would work and I happened to find my hoarded Figgy paper pack from BasicGrey!! Love these papers!!! I've been hoarding them for years! Anywho... the colors work really well with the colored image so I trimmed my papers and adhered them to a white A2 top fold card base.

Since this image was colored up a while ago I didn't have my list of colors to share here, but I did put a list together of which Copic Markers I think I used:

Boots ~ BG000, BG10, BG01, BG13, BG72

Ribbon ~ Y35, R000, R14, R27

Greenery ~ G24, G46

Berries ~ R000, R14, R56

Baubles ~ Y06, Y15, Y35, B0000, B00, B02

Ground ~ N0, N3

I adhered the little flag to the top left side of the die cut panel and then I popped up the focal piece and little flag piece with foam tape. I stamped the sentiment, also from the Keeping Spirits Bright KOM, with Clear Embossing ink from returning Sponsor Brutus Monroe on a scrap piece of red pattern paper and melted some Alabaster White Embossing powder also from Brutus Monroe. I trimmed the sentiment and adhered it directly over the image... I kinda wish I hadn't done that. I try not to cover up colored images. It just doesn't seem right after all the work in coloring an image, but I didn't like any other position for the sentiment on the card. I actually tried to pull it up but the glue had set quick so it is what it is!

I used another past sketch... {BYSHC} Sketch 10!! This was a fave! It also worked really well with this colored image. Have you visited the Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers Facebook group?
